Below you will find the documentation for the current production version:

Validating IBANs, Converting to IBANs, getting additional information

validate_iban_bic: performs the checks done by validate_iban, plus a softer check for whether the given BIC code might belong to the IBAN. For a stringent test, please use validate_iban and check whether the BIC to be validated is among the returned BIC candidates. Use validate_iban_bic only if validate_iban gives you too many false negative results for BIC codes.

Reporting the existence of IBANs, earning credits

submit_iban can be used for submitting an IBAN/account holder combination in clear text. The IBAN will not be stored, neither encrypted nor in clear text; only salted hashes will be stored.

submit_hashes can be used for submitting the salted hashes describing an IBAN/account holder combination. Use this function instead of submit_iban if you cannot submit IBANs in clear text and prefer to do the hashing yourself.

get_salts returns a list of salts derived from an account holder. You must use these salts when using the submit_hashes function.

Miscellaneous other functions

get_balance retrieves the current balance on your user account.

calculate_iban_batch calculates up to 50 IBANs with one function call.
